Cat Cafe Volunteers

Rags To Riches Cat Rescue is a volunteer-run, federally registered charity with a big mission: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome forgotten cats and kittens abandoned across southwestern Ontario’s rural communities.

Many of the cats we save have been dumped, abused, or left to fend for themselves in harsh conditions — freezing winters, predator-filled woods, or remote areas where help never comes. With zero government funding and limited resources, our small but dedicated team works around the clock to give these animals what every living being deserves: safety, medical care, love, and a second chance at life.

Every cat in our care is spayed or neutered, fully vetted, and given the individualized attention they need to heal and thrive. We also work tirelessly to combat overpopulation and educate the community about proper cat care and welfare.

In 2025, 257 cats found their forever homes through our rescue! In the first seven months of 2026 alone, another 316 cats found their forever homes! This is a true testament to what compassion, resilience, and a caring community can achieve when we come together.

R2R has several adoptable cats staying at My Kitty Cafe, at 117 Wyndham St N, Guelph. We are seeking volunteers to help check in on the cats, feed and weigh them, trim nails, and help with socialization and basic cleaning. This can take place anytime within My Kitty Cafe's open hours. If you can help us out with this, please fill out our Volunteer Application today! Under the "If you selected Other, please list any other areas where you can help." question, please add "Cat Cafe Volunteer". Thank you for your interest in helping to save cats' lives!
